Then do you watch the popular program?\"A Bite of China \" is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:\nEggs hold a special meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception . The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a \"red egg and ginger party,\" where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, for example, an even number(1,3,5,---) for a girl, and an odd number(2,4,6---) if a boy has been born.\nNoodles are a symbol of longlife in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.\nAlthough westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.\nA very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.\nThe 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements ,such as eating habits and the quality of eating.\n\n<question>:\nA bite of China is _ .\n\n<options>:\nA a book\nB a documentary\nC a guide book\nD a newspaper\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "B" } ]

But have you heard of typhoons?\nTyphoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.\nHow does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.\nA typhoon has two parts, one is called the \"eye\". In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.\nTyphoons are very dangerous. In November this year, Typhoon Haiyan killed 5500 people in Philippines. More people are missing.\nWhat to do when a typhoon hits?\nStay inside.
